Your best bet is to measure your current springs, eye to eye, and then go measure the cherokee springs eye to eye. if they are close (a little longer they might work, definitely not shorter) then go for it. if not oh well. As I recall, jeep cherokee springs are 6-10 inches longer than stock toyota springs. Cant recall for certain but I had a guy with a cherokee that wanted to buy my YJ springs i had for sale (same length as stock toyotas) but my YJs were too short for his cherokee.
